Could theoretically reach Mach 5, eh? It looks it!

 

[cheddar cheese]

How cool does that look! 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

pretty damn cool.........

 

[resle]

well sure if u like that kind of plane

 

[cheddar cheese]

Id fly on it. Travelling at Mach 5 must be something else.

However even if it is built nothing will be better than the original, Concorde 8)

 

[Nonskimmer]

Or the Spruce Goose.

Post-WWII Japan hasn't really been the forefront in aviation. I'll believe it when I see a real one up in the air.

 

[GermansRGeniuses]

Good Lord, that's ugly!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Im with pD, Ill believe it when I see it. Besides French/Japanese?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Besides French/Japanese?

what do you mean?

 

[cheddar cheese]

Its a French/Japanese plane.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

The project is being worked by the French and the Japanese jointly. The Japanese have not really had there feet wet in the area for quite some time and the French....well.

 

[dinos7]

that is a nice plane.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice! but as CC said nothing will beat the original Concorde

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I dont think this design will ever get anywhere.

 

[Gnomey]

I'd agree with you Alder, it looks too ambitious to ever make it further than the drawing board but you never know.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Your right it could but I just dont see the Japanese being able to contribute that much to the project and the French I just see them able to do it either.

 

[Gnomey]

No, neither do I, but life is full of surprises

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yes it is. The French could grow up too!
